TGIF!

I understood 25 years ago that the conservatives in the country we’re out of their fucking minds with their rhetoric but whoever would have thought it could have gotten to where we are now. I think part of why we ignored their bullshit was becasue Bubba had the country running like a well oiled machine and everyone prospered.

Life was great and then 9/11 happened and changed the whole worldview. It allowed the Republicans to start ranting and raving and do their sword rattling. Then in 2008 Sarah Palin crawled out from under a rock to spearhead with her rhetoric what we are seeing now.

The racism and utter lack of compassion for anyone other than the ultra-conservatives in the country has been an in your face assault on democracy and our way of life. They found the perfect vehicle in Trump, they thought, but never realized he had plans of his own to become a despot. The few sane Republicans have woken up to what is happening while the Trump sycophants have sold their souls.

We will have to GOTV and show up in record numbers in November to right the wrongs we are living through. While I believe Bob Mueller will eventually bring down Trump and his traitorous cabal it is paramount that we as Democrats and sane citizens put a halt to their tearing down the norms by voting them all out in November.

Hell has officially frozen over…Wonder what Ryan and the rest will say to this?

If you don't think this is a big deal, it is. McConnell is clearly admitting there's ZERO foul play here and Mueller should be supported. That's big, especially considering how cowardly McConnell has been in regardes to standing up to Trump. https://t.co/55qqcMnDK7

{{{Batch}}} – good round up. Yeah, I knew the Rs were evil, not mistaken just plain evil, 25 years ago. But we had Congress and Bill – then the trashing of Hillary’s universal healthcare plan & gloating over it, the “contract on america” Newt perpetrated, the whitewater “we’ll find something, keep looking” investigations… The Rs were building the foundation for what they put in place after 9/11. And they’ve just kept building the evil empire ever since. We have to vote them out. It’s the only way. moar {{{HUGS}}}

Good afternoon, Meese, and thank you, Batch. Another BUSY day at work, so this is just a drop in and also a heads up. I’ll be doing this Tuesday’s post (May 29) as usual, but there will be no post on June 5th…I’ll be posting it on June 7th instead, since I’m swapping with Janesaunt at The Orange. I should be done with all of the costumes by then (as in, I’d better be since tech week starts on the 10th), but I’m going to need a few days to recover from my last whirlwind trip to OH on the 2nd and 3rd.

The willingness/ability by 45*s base to live in a bubble of fiction is something that astounds me almost as much as the complete capitulation of the elected Rs. I don’t think they even realize how demented they sound when they’re repeating the lies coming from this administration. When I saw the #impeachObama hashtag that so many were using, I thought it was snark at first, but nope, it was a real thing on the Right. Just how clueless can you be? And how do you get that way? It’s not just Fox that’s doing this to people; it goes beyond to some real, but dark, ignorance. Of course, they have Dear Leader as the prime example of ignorance, so I shouldn’t be surprised…but I am.

I had intended to continue exploring unholy alliances, but a bout with flu-like symptoms for the past 48 hours has stripped me of the concentration needed. If headache, fever, and upset stomach are going to render me even more scattered than usual, I decided to leverage that into a positive. It may be a slightly…

My planned post for today went by the wayside; it’s hard to write anything remotely coherent when you’re obsessively checking hashtags on Twitter to see if your church has imploded yet. But the thought of a Tuesday without some history was unbearable [to me] too, so here’s a taste of what’s happened on this day.…

In parts 1 and 2, of this series I described the Nooksack River and how it’s three forks joined from the glaciers and water sheds surrounding the Mount Baker National Forest and wilderness area. The river that used to be prime spawning waters teemed with salmon that fed the local Indians for thousands of years. About 150…

At the beginning of February, when the earth appears frozen and lifeless, there are stirrings below the surface and above us in the sky. The light is returning; today there is nearly an hour more daylight than there was on the Winter Solstice. Mid-January through mid-February is when the Great Horned Owls begin breeding and…

Was she a bear—or something more? She was dreaming in the cave, with the cubs snuggled against her broad chest. They dreamed together while outside the wind swept snow pellets through the trees and the deer hunted desperately for short grasses by the half-frozen creek. Her dreams were of warmth and plenty, of her twins…

She’s running. And I’m with her. Twitter announcement: I'm running for president. Let's do this together. Join us: https://t.co/9KwgFlgZHA pic.twitter.com/otf2ez7t1p — Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) January 21, 2019 You need to login in order to like this post: click here
